I really don’t see there’s specific evidence for what motivated Jesus, what his goals were or even anything he actually said. Maybe he was a real specific person, but for sure he would have been much less than how the stories portray him. We can say this for certainty because the gospels contradict each other in the specific events of his life.
You seem to be creating your christian narrative out of wishful thinking just because you want to see it that way. Very normal Christian thinking on your part.
I hate this need to for legend and superstition to justify value systems. It’s so easy to manipulate people with this mentality. Look at Qanon. Just believing anything that affirms their prejudice fears. When the leader comes along who can codify and canonize the belief system it’s going to be a disaster for civilization.
You feel such a strong desire to prove wrong you don’t realize you’re talking to an atheist. I’m talking about historical Jesus.
I think a good book is Zealot by Reza Aslan, if you’re interested in early Christianity. Did you know Jesus had a brother, James? And he was an important leader in early Christianity?
